"I guess Zoey went home already," Tiffany looked around for the umpteenth time as they approached Aiden's bike."I asked if something is happening, she doesn't look fine to me at all," Aiden said, fondling Tiffany's hand."Have you been watching my friend all this while?" Tiffany drew her brows together."Are you jealous?" Aiden leaned toward her with a smirk."Jealous? Oh, please," Tiffany rolled her eyes."It was evident, I'm sure you know what's wrong with her, right?" Aiden asked as they got to where his power bike was parked."Actually, Zoey...""Tiffany!" came the voice of Declan who rushed to them, breathing heavily."What?" Tiffany creased her brows."Where is Zoey? Did she go home already?" he panted, his hands rested on his waist."If she's not with you, then I guess she has gone home already. She said she was going to you when I saw her last," Tiffany answered."Did something happen?" Aiden asked."Later, huh?" He turned to leave and then began to dial Zoey's number."You'r
"Dad?" Declan furrowed his brows as he stared at his dad suspiciously."Y... Yes?" Senator Han gulped."Kids, do you know where she lives?" he asked, his eyes hoping desperately that they know."Dad..." Marlie sighed."Tell me.""Dad, did she offend you? You wouldn't look for someone without a reason," Declan said."Just tell me where she lives," Senator Han ignored."If you think she offend you then I bet you're mistaken. I know Tiffany is stubborn but she wouldn't come at you unless you did first, that I know for sure," Declan guaranteed."Just tell me where she lives, I need to find her. It is very important, please kids."Declan furrowed his brows, his dad was not the type to apologize for someone or anything.What does he want from Tiffany?Does she owe him anything?He really doubt if his father and the lady had ever crossed paths.Now, he couldn't help but wonder what his dad wants from that girl."I need to know why you want to meet her first. Is her safety guaranteed?!" Decla
Western high school."This is embarrassing," Zoey sniffed as she broke the kiss and dropped her head on his shoulder."Be my girlfriend, please," Declan whispered in her ear."You should have asked that before you kissed me," Zoey looked into his eyes and chuckled."I know, right?""Let's date," Zoey smiled."I...""Since the movie is over, will you guys take a seat here with us?" Aiden interrupted as he settled back on the chair."Must you interrupt?" Declan groaned and Aiden shrugged his shoulder off.*"I didn't expect you to do that, I swear," Aiden said as soon as Declan arrived at the table with his and Zoey's food.I wasn't going to but she would not stop ignoring me," Declan shook his head and glanced at Zoey."Didn't know an àsshôlé like you could be like this," Tiffany scoffed as she scooped rice in her spoon."You...""Let's not argue today, huh?" Aiden interrupted." And wait, were you guys not pretending to be fighting? Your guy wouldn't stop glaring at us. If only look c
"Because she is family! She... She is our family!" Senator Han exhaled."What?!" Declan exclaimed and left his mouth open."Who is your family?" Tiffany raised her brows, trying to mention her cool."You," Senator Han sighed."I guess you're on drugs," Tiffany chuckled and then turned to leave."Wait!" Senator Han called out and she halted.He rushed towards her, stopped in front of her, and grabbed her wrist."I am sorry... Okay?" He whispered and Tiffany frowned."Yeah, you better be sorry for standing me up unnecessary," she glared at him."I'm sorry that I failed both you and Nova," he shook his head.Tiffany refused to let her feelings waver, she frowned her face, snatched her hand from the man, and dashed out of the office, slamming the door hard behind her."Dad, what the fûck are you doing?!" Declan yelled."Aiden, do you know her?" Senator Han ignored and asked Aiden."Yes, dad, she's my girlfriend," he replied."Thank you so much, and I hope you keep loving her," he nods his
"I'll think about it, leave," Tiffany finally said and Marlie exhaled."Will you give me the reply that I want?" She blinked her eyes twice."I don't know," Tiffany replied and moved towards the other side of the cabinet where the lady walked to."Do you have milkshake?" the lady asked."No," replied Tiffany."Can I have the sweetest thing here then?" she asked with a smile."No problem."Marlie watched her half-sister attend to the customer and let out a sigh.Even if her dad finally told the lady that he was her father, would she accept?Tiffany doesn't seem like the kind of person to jump at her father the moment she heard that he is her father.She bet the lady would prefer attending to customers to acknowledging her dad.Ooof! Guess there's a lot of work ahead of her dad to do."I see you're still waiting," Tiffany groaned after she had answered the lady."Can I have your phone, please?""No, why?""In case you finally make up your mind to come, I want to give you the number you'
"So, when do we go? Will you go and see him today? I can call him right now to free up his schedule," Declan said after he finished his food and wiped his mouth."Let's go after school is over," Tiffany nods her head."For real?" Declan widened his eyes."Aiden will follow though, you don't think I'll go there by myself, right?" Tiffany raised a brow.aa"You want me to go with you?" Aiden asked and Tiffany nodded her head."I'm fine with however you want it," Declan smiled."Stop smiling, you look so ugly," Tiffany frowned her face."Lie, he looks the most handsome when he smiles," Zoey drawled, staring at Declan's face."Huh!" Tiffany covered her mouth like she was going to puke."The break is almost over, and you haven't finished eating," Zoey shook her head at Tiffany."I'm right beside her, of course, she was distracted by my presence, right, babe?" Aiden leaned closer with a mischievous smile on his face."Exactly! It's hard to concentrate on my food when you're here," Tiffany po
"She knows..." She raised her head slowly and smiled widely."She knows how much you love her," she nods her head and then burst into laughter."Damn..." Aiden shook his head.Meanwhile...Fifteen minutes ago, the guardians' gathering place.Tiger spirit, in her human form, sat on the table, whistling, and checking on her fingers."Tiger spirit," Chephirah and Benroy appeared together."Oh, you came," she looked up with a smile."Why did you want to see us? The two of us at that?" Benroy queried."Wait, are we really on bad terms because of that girl and Akilang?" she frowned as she got down from the table gently."You hate her. You want to kîll her," Chephirah pointed her finger accusingly at the tiger spirit."Come on, something bigger could happen soon," she chuckled."What?" Benroy and Chephirah chorused."I see you guys can't still predict Akilang's move. Well, it's understandable, you were part of the Guardians that tamed him," she nodded her head, strolling towards them."Will
The next day, Western high school.After the first period was over, and it was a short break, Zoey moved her chair to Tiffany and stared at her for a few minutes, and sighed.The lady had not been saying anything since they had entered the classroom. Even when it was time for her to mark her attendance, she only stared blankly at the back of the head of the guy sitting in front of her. She had no choice but to help her friend with her attendance."Tiffy," she poked her waist."Tiffany," she called out again."Tiffany!" She hit the table in front of Tiffany and watched the lady jerk with a mischievous smile on her face."That startled me!" Tiffany exclaimed with a frown as she placed her hand on her chest."You're the one scaring me, you have been out of it for almost an hour," Zoey pouted."An hour has passed?" Tiffany widened her eyes."Of course, we are on a short break," she replied sarcastically."Woah, I guess I was really out of it," she sighed and removed the hair band that she
